Hi again, It does seem that you had a rough run indeed. The interview is only to establish ID and passport is sent within 48 hours, if checks are clear. You have given them enough time to perform all the checks and IPS has not been able to provide you with answers. You call them once again tomorrow ...

Perhaps there is something else pending?
Otherwise, do as you say here

he send police report and say he did not mention in form(section 3. as he was neither charged nor waiting for anything from the authority but file was closed with NFA

You can sign on her behalf.

He was just being rude, unless there is anything given in writing, you have no reason to worry. Turning up to collect a visa without appointment may be breach of protocol but all that was required of him to do was to give you another appointment, if he was not willing to deal with you on that day. I...

We parents both are on ILR ( received in may 2011), But UK born our child having Indian passport and Tier1 dependant visa ( expiring on 26th Nov). I have applied for his naturalisation certificate on 28th July and awaiting for the same ( already acknoledged on 12th Aug). We have planned to go to In...

You are applying in person so hopefully you will have a decision on the same day.
Give your current address and then include your previous address.

The best advice for an over 18 dependent child is to apply together with his parents, but on a separate SET(O) form. (Meaning the child needs to pay a full application fee.)

Yes,this is the best option.
If not, then its SET F form and higher fee, provided leave to remain has not run out.

If you already were an Indian citizen, then all you need is proof, thats all. It can be a birth certificate or a passport.

Yes, absolutely correct. You want to add: Student- at xxx University/College (not working)

Yes, you can apply for OCI provided you fulfil the second requirement as well. Who is eligible to apply? 1.A foreign national, who was eligible to become a citizen of India on 26.01.1950 or was a citizen of India on or at anytime after 26.01.1950 or belonged to a territory that became part of India ...

Does anyone know if HCI is strict on photo guidelines? I am planning to use the same photo I used for my British Passport. But it is 35 x 35mm . HCI requires 51 x 51mm with shoulders visible?! Simple answer being conveyed is that if you do not follow the guidelines, your application is likely to be...

Hi I am about to apply for my passport and need your advice on following: 1) Previous passport: In the section of previous passports, do I need to mention my valid passport only (I mean I have Indian passport which got renewed. Do I need to mention my expired passport number also? And do I need to ...

These should suffice, you need to send copies, with self attestation.

Why would you want to do this?

Does it really matter? Clearly, its a typo, do seek advise from HCI.

Yes, more than 1 FP notice, means you have to wait for 1 yr. SECTION 3: GOOD CHARACTER ....Fixed penalty notices will not normally be taken in to account, unless you have had more than one fixed penalty notice in the last 12 months. In that case you may wish to wait to make your application until yo...

Thanks for your reply. I heard that someone's visa request was refused because he wrote outside boxes. That's why I'm asking. I will try to get to referees to sign the form again. I'm just a little stressed about not being able to contact one of them. I have 3 more days to get to him. Youre asked t...

Be patient, you should hear soon, keep checking online; it takes 7-10 days.

Yes, thats right.

Some further questions, if anyone knows the answer(s): 1. Will he need to submit the SC when applying for tourist visa? You only need a copy, original can be shown if asked for at the time of applying for the visa 2. Will the SC be returned along with the other documents when the tourist visa appli...

Is SC a requirement to apply for a tourist visa? Yes SC,if applied and collected in person, can be got in 7 working days. Someone I know needs to travel to India in the 1st week of November, and unsure whether OCI will come through within the next 4 weeks, is thinking of applying for tourist visa i...

I suspect this is to do with losing the original citizenship and the rights to own land/property by non-citizens. India would be a good example of such a country.

Only true for agricultural land.

I am assuming here that both of you have dual nationality and can travel on your original passports.

The originals are returned quite quickly but only after you have been issued an interview letter.

Yes, 2 Copies are required for OCI.

Until you or your wife acquires British Citizenship, your child will require an Indian visa to travel to India and will not get OCI.
